I've found a package for my mobile broadband stick but find the instructions a little confusing. In part 2 I'm assuming path=the path to where the package is before installing. What is the path to my desktop? These are the instructions given:

--How to Install----------------------
* You need login as root *

1. Run "tar jxvf linux_install.tar.bz2"

2. Run "./install" in TERMINAL to install MobilePartner
eg: # bash /<path>/install

3. If you had installed this software in your system before, you will get a prompt: "The software is exist, do you want overwrites? ([Y]/[N])", enter "y" to overwrites or "n" to exit.

4. If you do not had installed this software in your system before, you will get a prompt: "Please input the install path[/usr/local/Mobile_Partner]:". Then you can input install path(fullpath), or you may using the default path(/usr/local/Mobile_Partner) by press ENTER direct

5. Finish installing

--How to run--------------------------
* From shortcut in desktop

* Run MobilePartner in your install path
eg: # /<install path>/MobilePartner

* Plug in your device, it will run automatically (Not supported in Xandros)

The full path to your desktop would be..

/home/user/Desktop

where user is your login user ID.

You can change to that folder from terminal using the cd (change directory) command.

cd /home/user/Desktop <enter>

The "D" in Desktop is capitalized.

Lovely - thanks a lot Tux.
